[Hack] LCD density set with rom toolbox - LG Optimus 2x

Hello,
I used rom toolbox to lower LCD density from 240 to 190, as a result I got much more usable space on phone because all the icons are smaller and much more content can fit on screen while everything is still readable.
There can be some bugs that have to be fixed by custom launchers so heres my setup:
-Official ICS V30a rooted rom
-apex launcher
-grid size set to one higher than stock
-rom toolbox pro (free version works as well)
-(UPDATE 1) widgetlocker for lockscreen
Only bug that apears with this setup is on a lockscreen, transparen gradiant is small, visible and ugly but Im gonna fix that with custom lockscreen and update you on that.
Have you ever tried this? Whats your experience?
Heres how to do this:
ROOT REQUIERED!
Get rom toolbox, go to performance, click build.prop, click file icon upper left in top action bar and you will see LCD density. Set it to 190, reboot. Then play arround with launcher to make it look good.
UPDATE 1: I used widgetlocker to configure lockscreen and that completes the setup.

I cant help you with the first 2 issues but i can help with the third. You can do one of two things, install a extra launcher to replace ADW call launcher pro (its in the market and its free and easy) or you can install launcher2.apk, which looks perfectly identical to froyo default screen, I dont think this one is in the market, but its all over this forum. Personally I like the launcher pro rather then the launcher2, but its all personal preference.
I believe the reason that N1 torch high brightness doesn't work is because of the kernel used for 720p camera or something like that.

[Q] App to change Icon Spacing

Hi is there a app or setting to change the icon and Widget spacing? Iwant to put them closer, there is so much space wasted.
Many third party launchers such as launcher pro or adw allow you to adjust the amount of columns and rows used allowing you to add more icons.

how about an edit so you don't have to run another app
I would think there would be a configuration file with spacing in it that you could edit so you don't have to run another app. There are a lot of good launcher apps but the only thing I don't like about the home screen is the spacing and don't want to have to have another app running just to resolve that.
What rom are you running? If you are rooted there are roms that have stock but only icons spacing changed. Can't find post right now. If you aren't rooted you'll need to write to HTC to change their launcher.

[Q] Nova Launcher Wallpaper Problems

Hey Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher in the Chinese ICS Rom on my Note but my wallpapers dont scale properly at all! I have the correct resolution on em. In Fact all of them are downloaded from the wallpaper section in XDA for Note. They scale perfectly in TW launcher but not in Nova. Anyone knows why? Any setting I am missing? Please help! I love this launcher!
Hi,
I set wallpaper from stock wallpaper gallery and it scale fine.
I still using the default option in nova and not yet change dpi or any display settings in this ics chinese rom.
Have you change something before?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
No, did not change anything!
I have found this with another launcher (ssLauncher). When selecting from the gallery the size went completely wrong.
I selected from another source (Pic Viewer perhaps?) and it was set perfectly.
Try launching the new gallery app from drawer - the one with the red-purplish icon - and setting your homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper from there.
That's the way I'm doing it, and it scales images just fine.
Use Quickpic to set wallpaper. Works flawlessly.....

I am having the exact same problem
By any chance, did you guys install ADW Launcher before installing this ROM?
My wallpaper scaling problems started when I installed ADW......fixed them by installing another rom and doing a full wipe.
Also, you can use quick pic or wallpaper wizardrii from the market (both are free)
Btw,
which link did you use to download the ics leak rom......I downloaded the torrent one but I lose root access ? I'd be grateful if you could give me the link.
Many thanks
I never use adw on my ics rom, just install nova after tw launcher and never have any issue with wallpaper.
I use repacked version from chainfire, its rooted and cwm included. You can download it here (torrent) :
ftp://tor:[email protected]/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar.torrent
I have the CF repack too but I am still having problems with scaling. The temp solution I have is setting the wallpaper with Tw launcher and then switching to nova. But still after some app exits the wallpaper scales back to its zoomed state and i do the whole thing again. Dunno what seems to be the problem. love this launcher a lot to give up for this scaling problem

what about go launcher..saw many ICS theme for go launcher
I am also having an issue with 1.00. The top of the wallpaper is cut-off or underneath the notification bar. I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
guys i hope i solved ur issues....read the following
The native screen resolution is 720 x 1280, but native wallpapers are actually 1440 x 1280 because of scrolling. However, Android always forces you to crop your wallpaper to "their dimensions". So, if you are using a static wallpaper setting like Nova, you need to tweak your wallpapers.
Basically, you want to embed a 720 x 1280 wallpaper on a 1440 x 1280 background. Then when you go to set the wallpaper, you stretch the cropping tool to its MAX size and it cuts out the "excess" background leaving only your 720 x 1280 image.

[Q] ADWLauncher EX on ICS and empty space "bar"

Yesterday I have decided to try ics builds for note. Imilka's CyanogenMod 9 v01 [IMM76D/4.0.4] is my choice.
I didn't have that problem before on stock XXLC1 with dpi set on 260, unfortunately changing dpi on to 260 on ICS makes adw lanuncher displays an empty space with blue line on top. Pictures attached.
Changing dpi back to 320 solves the problem, Is there any other way to hide that "bar" and stay on 260 dpi ?
Bub i guess thats the battery bar!!
Go to the settings where u can change the battery icons and type there this setting should be, I know its in the euphoria controls in ics stunner rom but dont know where it is in in your cm9 rom!!
Give it a shot it should fix your issue!!
If it does hit thanks
SHOT from my LOADED GT-N7000!!
I gave up trying to find solution on adw,
Sorted by installing apex launcher....

The problem I'm having with Apex is it's not using the entire screen when I'm at 240. Do you have this problem?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Grid size's in home screen settings of apex launcher.
I've just changed dpi on to 240 portrait grid set on to 7x6 whole screen in use...

[Q] LCD density - is it possible to get all the goodies together?

LCD density 120 .. nice but a lot of programs and functions are not completely visable
if i change it to 110 or 115 than i get the following
the good:
My icons in a 5 x 4 raster looks great
In widget locker i can finally set the lockscreen volume and i have more space in the screen
Some widgets like beautiful clock/weather look even better than before
in the USSD code screens i can finally see all the lines/inputs
the bad:
Zoner AV crashes immediately - when it tries to generate the icon in the status bar
Games like coindozer comes to almost a complete halt
Gallery takes hours to create thumbnails
is there an option/setting to make it all come to work ?
A.
There is a fixed dpi setting for your phone.. If you change it some apps won't work.. For all apps to work, you must use the default dpi settings
Iwas already afraid of that
